Most of these brokerages charge minimum fees to keep your license active while still maintaining your license.

You take a deposit per usual and charge them for any damage beyond wear and tear.

Quote from @Reed Rickenbach: John - as long as you are still following strict screening criteria I agree for single family.

Also if you have a single-family house already sometimes loan underwriters don't approve you moving from a single-family to a multifamily.

Hard to give good advice without more info, but since You are single no kids it's hard to beat buying a single family fixer upper and living in it for two years and then selling for tax free profits....I'm a big fan of Waltham these days $.02 

Would you be willing to share what you charge for your transactional funding loans?

I own single family homes but would love to venture into a multi fam…Thank you ! 

So if the homeowner saves energy or goes on a long vacation, they still get charged 100%.

I currently work with investors building and diversifying their portfolios with Single-family homes over the midsouth/midwest, and I would love to connect with you and share some insight on the turn-key world and swap investing goals.

For example if a single family home rents for $1700 in your area.
